3rd Brake light replacement

The corner piece of my 3rd brake light has fallen out of my gt2 style bumper. Any suggestions for replacement? I am not sure if I need to order an entire new light with rubber surround or just the one piece of the reflector that is missing.

Thanks in advance,

BK

I recommend upgrading to an LED one... but if you want a stock red one, I will give you mine for cheap.

I would like an led one also, however I was reading old posts and saw that there were issues with fitment and that many had a gap near the rubber surround.

Worst case scenario I may take your stock one.

Mine was actually a little tight to get in; once in, it is all good.

Mine has this weird issue where the right side clamp doesn't connect all the way and so every week or so I have to push the light back in on the right side for it to sit flush. I've messed with it but couldn't get it to work right.

I think I am leaning toward replacing with smoked led light. I just am concerned with fitment and how it looks with stock taillights. I saw a few for sale on ebay, but if there is a specific seller members have purchased from with good results, I would appreciate the recommendation!
